fire in the hosiery factory of the
prison, not 50 feet away from the
chapel enveloped the windows so
thickly that electric lights ' wera
turned on.
Warden Francis himself was in the
chapel when the fire broke out. He
selected half a dozen "trusties" to
help the prison and city fire depart-

turned to quiet his charges. Fully r 8 ma
haif of ihe 600 had jumped to their
feet as if to stampede but at a word
from Chaplain Miller they recovered
composure, reseated themselves and
listened attentively to the sermon.
As the flames grew more threaten-
ing a second ripple of excitement
started but the Methodist church
(hoir stayed it by singing hymns In
which the convicts joined.
The fire was fought for more than
an hour, many of the "trusties” do-
ing the most valiant work, some

structure and others braving smoke
and fire until black in the face. Sev-
ern! were overcome by smoke. The
cotton material in the hosiery factory
made ready fuel and It took tons of
water to confine the blaze to the
hosiery department.
After the fire Warden Francis paid
many compliments to Ills charges for
the self restraint they had shown.

he said, “could have acquitted them-

dl8turbane,e of the month. Within
36 hours of sunset March 16 that
storm and all the other five storm
waves on other parts of the earth
will reach their greatest force. These
six storm waves—located around the
earth about 2500 miles apart—will re-
ceive their first, great impulse within
36 hours of noon, March 12. This will
be the last winter storm—as spring
begins at the close of March 21—and
it will be one of the most severe dis-
turbances of the winter.
The great increase of storm energy
near March 12 will probably affect
eastern sections of the continent and
the Pacific coast; that of March 16
will affect the great central valleys,
the north Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Next disturbance will reach Pacific^
c-oast about 18, cross Pacific slope by
close of 19, great central valleys 20
to 22, eastern section 23. Warm wave
will cross Pacific slope about 18, great
central valleys 20, eastern sections 22.
Cool wave w-.ill cross Pacific slope
about 21. great central valleys 23,
eastern states 25.
This will be a radical disturbance
on Pacific slope ai/oui March 18 and
will gradually lose force as it pro-
gresses eastward. While tempera-
tures will fluctuate the trend will be
downward from about March 16 to
25 and this last described disturb-
ance will lie followed by some mure
ually cold weather for (he season.
THE COMET.
All other matters of interest must,
for two months, give first place to our
celestial visitors, Halley's comet.
People are. generally inclined to treat
the comet question as a kind of joke
or a ‘subject of merriment and that
is probably the better way.
But there is a serious side. It wll'
be the most - interesting celestial
event that occur and such as we will
never see again. It brings us face to
face witli the greatest of problems,
the origin of the universe, or that part
of it included in our cluster of stars.
Astronomers and other great scien-
tists are not agreed on these ques-
tions; they widely differ. I hold to
the atomic theory, that all bodies in
the universe have grown from atoms
by slow accretions; that comets are
formed far out in spaec away from
the light and attractions of other
bodies. or where their attractions are
evenly balanced, and are drawn into
our system of stars and into our solar
system by the onward march of our
cluster.
Every one of the twenty or more
moons of our solar system, as I see
it, were comets. Our moon was a
comet much like and much greater
than Halley's, and must have struck
and lost Its atmosphere to the earth.
There are many features in physi-
cal geography and in geologq, nor ex-
plainable under old theories, -that be-
come clear w'hen we accept the theo-
ries above mentioned.

Census Bureau’s Statement Concern-
ing Method of Ascertain-
ing it.
Washington, March 13.—Inquiries
have been made of the census bureau
whether farm products should be val-
ued by farmers in replying to census
enumerators' at the general w holesale
prices or at the actual prices obtained
by the producer, (t was pointed out
by the Inquirers that many farmers
sell a proportion of their eggs (or
breeding, at much higher than the
regular price. Others sell part or all
of their milk, butter and cream at re-
tail. Quite a number sell pure bred
live stock of various kinds at more
or less fancy prices. The bureau’s
correspondents are of the opinion that
If sales are quoted in this way in the
census reports the results might be
somewhat uncertain as a basis lor the
average market prices.
Responding to these Inquiries, Cen
sits lfirector Durand states that in
forming its inquiries and instructions
with reference to the value of domes-
tic animals and fowls, the census bu-
reau must necessarily follow the lines
laid down in the law' governing its ac-
tion. That law requires the bureau
to ascertain the number and value of
animals arid fowls. The value sought
is not the value of some particular
class or animals or fowls, but of all
animals and fowls. It is the amount
at which animals and fowls can be
sold. Good pure blooded animals will
sell for more, and thus have a greater
value, than the poor animals. Where
there are many pure blooded, the av-
erage will lie higher than where the
opposite condition of affairs prevails,
but as a matter of fact, the pure-
blooded animals are so thoroughly dis-
tributed that .hey left, no appreciable
infleiince upon the average published
by the iweifth census, except in the
case of the youug colts of the state
or New Jersey.
No appreciable Influence on the av-
rage price or value of eggs, milk or
Gutter is observed in consequence of
the practice mentioned by the inquir-
ers. The high priced eggs, milk, but-
ter, etc., are found aizout as much in
one part of the country as in another.
The average which the census will
publish is not that of a particular
class of eggs, but of all the eggs pro-
duced, It is the same for all animals,
fowls and animal products. The rela-
tive number and value of the animals
and products to which specific atten-
tion has been called does not exert, far
the country as a whole or for man*, of
the states, an Influence sufficient to
make the average published I,- til*
census materially different from th •
average market prices

there are thousands of acres of aspen
wood which makes the very best grade
of paper. Cheap power and cheap
transportation, so that this, the north-
ern part of New Mexico has all the
advantages of Colorado, with just an
Imaginary line between the two. Thou-
sands of tpns of coal and coke are
produced yearly within forty miles of
the town of Red River.
Tile town of Red River Is situated
ill the center of the largest mining
district running from the Colorado
line to the southern line of Taos
county, some 40 miles long ami over
12 miles wide, shows large bodies of
gold, stiver, lead, zinc and copper ores,
ranging In value from $1.00 to $200
per ton. There are also Indications of
stlbnlto, bismuth, molybdenum, wol-
framite, sperryllte, tungsten, bubuer*
Ito, selenite, u ran I mite. vanadium
and vftiuidinlte. No doubt that what
some of the rare minerals mentioned
above will be found in paying quan-
tities when development lias reached
a depth below what Is termed gopher-
ing. There lias never been a geologi-
cal report on the mineral deposits of
Taos county. New Mexico, so It has
taken us a long time to find oflt just
what the Red river district does con
tain.
But there are also very large bodies
of graphite of the very best grade,
Iron ores, and small indications of
manozlle. Since the real estate boom
here In 1896 and 1807, when there was
not a 40-foot hole In the ground, flic
Red River district has-, boon quietly
going ahead, developing the most
promising properties of the camp,
The Cora Belle, Munson, Pratt and
Pierce owners are sinking a 100 foot
shaft and drifting inn feet, on a large
body of ore averaging $28 per ton.
Should the ore remain us good at the
100 foot level they will erect a large
mill next . summer Tlio Memphis
owned by it, L. Pooler and others has
shipped live or six cars of ore to Den-
ver and Pueblo'Which gave returns of
$70.00 per ear. The Independence
shipped two cars running $40 per ton
and two cars running *14,000.00 pet
ton, The Black Copper has large bod-
ies of low grade, ore with a small
streak, of very high grade, some
samples giving $152,000 per ton. The

Kansas City capitalists, has been fav-
orably reported on by F. H. Black-
mar, E M , of Kansas City, and the
company expect to work a large force
of men this coming summer.
The American Eagle group, owned
by C. O, Fain, has 800 feet of tunnel

River, and H. J Luce. C. E. Palmer
and C. O. Fain are trying to secure
money enough to build a good wagon
road iu-tween Questa and Red River
so that it can be traveled by automo-
bile -as well as team If capitalists
would visit the beautiful town of Red
River and examine some of the pros-
pects that ara partly developed, money
would flow in Taos county faster than
it did in the gold tilled course of Red
River. There are several thousand feet
of development work done that show
up the county to an advantage, so that
the beautiful town of Red River sur-
rounded on all sides by lofty peaks,
with millions of dollars of wealth wait-
ing to tie mined, will startle Ihe world
in the near future. Ami those who
have condemned the district for more
than 12 long years will come back and
shake hands with the true blue poor
prospector wJto never gives up until
ilea III- claims him, who suffers all
kinds of hardships, starvations, etc.
And It ha) b n the judgment of the
poor prospector that lias made the
mining camps of the world and the
multi-millionaire mining men Red
River has been condemned by thou-
sand ; although very few people have
ever visited the little town, or ever at-
tempted to climb the lofty mountains,
yet the sturdy prospector has been
busy for 12 years trying lo prove the
wealth of this district.
Twenty-two samples taken by Rich-
ard Kelly from 22 different dumps
around Red River gave returns of from
$11.80 io $29.60 per ton in gold. Where
In the history of mining have prospects
(for that Is all we have at present)
shown siicli values in gold, and capital
could not lie induced to invest, saying
we have nothing, A mill run on the
"Cora Belle gave returns of *32.65,
samples being shoveled out of the
dump. Grab samples taken from the
"Wllliard.” owned by Wes toby and
Hedges, gave returns of $26,85 per
ton. On gold picked samples from
"American Eagle," gave $126 00 in
gold and silver, a value of 22 per cent
copper. A sample taken from crest
of the '.Memphis'' gave returns Of
$176.85 per ton
The "fay Hawk" Is a body of ore
that milled $25.00 per ton. This prop-
erty developed-by mining men would
prove -i bonanza. It takes several
thousand dollars to block out the ore
and put It in shape to be worked.
The Midnight" is another good pros-
pect, milling $18.00 per ton. But be-
cause throe or four inexperienced
miners could not take out enough ore
to pay high salaries to half a dozen
officials the mine wns condemned with
lots of good milling ore in sight. The
Edison has spent some $40,000 and
all there Is to show for it Is a 150-
foot. shaft and 50 feet of that wns sunk
before they commenced. Good ore in
all the (dil workings ami these three
are mentioned to show that there has
never been a practical mining man in
the district Should an experienced
ruining man or n geological expert
visit tills distil-' i (hey would be sur-
prised to see i hat large bodies of
good ore lying exposed to every one,
vet not one coming into tbn district to
invest any money. But, condemning
the district Just on general principle*.
Hundreds of samidea of good ore have
been sent to all parts of the United
States in (lie last six months und It is
expected that 1910 will show that
New Mexico will be a close rival to
Colorado. Let capital come in and
New Mexlr'o will in a few years lake
the laurels away from Colorado. The
mineral is here; come and see.
